About Me

Hello my name is Dave i'm 22 and i bide in Perth (central scotland)I get my cash working in a wee office/call centre working 9-5 mon-fri, which pays the bills but my passion is music.my main instruments are fiddle and guitar, but i'll also play mandolin, bass, keyboard, bouzouki etcetc when called for. I'm lucky to be involved in the great bands Submachine (alt-rock behemoths) and True Gents (indie-folk). I'm also playing with the Iain Jarvie Band and sometimes local country legends $outhpaw when i get the chance.over the past year i've discovered a love for folk/traditional music which runs in my family, and i'm up at Taybank pub in dunkeld a lot (tuesdays and most thursdays) for the sessions.Aside from playing music, i enjoy recording/producing when i find the time.I've got a totally doss bunch of friends who are there for me when the shit hits the fan and i've got infinite love for them!!

My Interests
